Modeling Honey Bee Populations

PLOS ONE, 2015
Eusocial honey bee populations (Apis mellifera) employ an age stratification organization of egg, larvae, pupae, hive bees and foraging bees. Understanding the recent decline in honey bee colonies hinges on understanding the factors that impact each of these different age castes.

Molecular Assessment of Genes Linked to Immune Response Traits of Honey Bees in Conventional and Organically Managed Apiaries

Insects, 2020
Honey bees are of great economic importance, not only for honey production but also for crop pollination. However, honey bee populations continue to decline mainly due to exposure to pesticides, pathogens and beekeeping practices.

Honey bees and wild pollinators differ in their preference for and use of introduced floral resources

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Introduced plants may be important foraging resources for honey bees and wild pollinators, but how often and why pollinators visit introduced plants across an entire plant community is not well understood.

The Potential Influence of Bumble Bee Visitation on Foraging Behaviors and Assemblages of Honey Bees on Squash Flowers in Highland Agricultural Ecosystems. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bee species interactions can benefit plant pollination through synergistic effects and complementary effects, or can be of detriment to plant pollination through competition effects by reducing visitation by effective pollinators.

Blessing or curse? Varroa mite impacts Africanized bee spread and beekeeping

California Agriculture, 1998
Africanized honey bees were first detected in California in October 1994. Since then, they have established a foothold in the Imperial Valley and have spread toward San Diego and into Palm Springs.

THE RELATION BETWEEN HONEY STORAGE AND POLLEN GRAINS AT HONEY BEES WORKERS (Apis Mellifera L) ACTIVITY ON WANDERING AND COLLECTION TO PROVIDE FOOD NECESSARY FOR THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COLONY [PDF]

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2007
Effect of storing honey and pollen grains for bees workers on groups of honey bees (strong. medium. weak) show that the best area was for the strong groups and the least for the weak ones.

Are you my mother? When host genetics and gut microbiota tell different phylogenetic stories in the Africanized honey bee hybrid (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.)

Microbiology Spectrum
Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.) originated in Brazil through the crossbreeding of African (A. mellifera scutellata) and European (A. mellifera sspp.) honey bee subspecies.

Honey wasps differ from other wasps in possessing large gut communities dominated by host-restricted bacteria

mBio
Honey-feeding social bees, including honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees, possess distinctive gut bacterial communities that provide benefits to hosts, such as defense against pathogens and parasites.
